New Azerbaijan Party marks National Salvation Day

The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) has held an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the National Salvation Day, AzVision.az reports.

Addressing the event, YAP Deputy Chairman – Executive Secretary, Deputy Prime Minister Ali Ahmadov said that national leader Heydar Aliyev, with his return to power for the second time on 15 June 1993, laid a solid foundation for Azerbaijan’s independence.

Speaking about the events of that time, Ahmadov noted that Heydar Aliyev’s return to power in 1993 put an end to anarchy and chaos.

“The incompetence and inability of Azerbaijan’s then-leadership led to deepening of anarchy and there was a great threat to the country’s independence. There were serious problems with the neighboring countries, and Armenia, taking advantage of this situation, occupied Azerbaijani territories. After all this, the Azerbaijani people expressed their concern and demanded from Heydar Aliyev to come to Baku from Nakhchivan to put an end to this chaos,” he said.

With Heydar Aliyev’s return to power, the economic recession, Armenian aggression, and instability throughout the country were prevented, Ahmadov stressed.
